Filipinos have affection for social surveys the same way they have fondness for astrological predictions.
Surveys to them are present reality. Predictions are the inevitable future. There are no past to compare, because history itself is of no resonating value. (If it does I won’t be scribbling this. We won’t have Kris Aquino for a show!)
Surveys are like junk foods. You can actually live without it. Same is true to our politicians.
Note:
This is in response to the latest SWS Survey saying that Filipinos are hungrier than before. It reminded me of other survey saying the Filipinos have grown poorer.
Of course you are poorer; ten years ago you are single. You whimpering bitch! (Alright so you are a guy: Bastard!)
Also early morning yesterday, Arnold Clavio said in this morning magazine show, one time he went to a fishing village in Leyte. The children he carried in his arms weighs like the characters only found in weight watcher’s dreams. Given the season when fishes were scarce. Beside their mothers have mobile phones..
What the fuck is goin’ on here?
Asking for shoes when you got no feet.
To hell will all those surveys.

...and we are hurting because of this survey, too.
the older one changed us forever (November last year). Ipinamigay kami from DA to DOH.
but that's... history.
what irks us most is the way this survey's been handled and misused.
Imagine a question in there -- Have you ever gone hungry for the past three months?
Of course the answer would be in the affirmative.
....so sorry to be so angry.
